Cockrell Butterfly Center

We meet again, butterfly center. My boyfriend and I visited yesterday. Stunning and magical as usual. The butterflies are either floating along gracefully or they are dive-bombing you (as they should). There is no in between. Meanwhile, the turtles in the corner made sure to remind everyone nature has zero shame. TLDR: A magical (slightly unhinged) experience. Definitely recommend.

I learned to appreciate arthropods (look it up!). Sitting in the butterfly center was peaceful, especially since you need to be sure not to step on any. It was also delightful to see young bodies wander and explore the many types of butterflies. For a $20 donation you can set a new butterfly free to take its first flight 💜

Great exhibit. In addition to all the butterflies, there are plenty of blooming plants to see, and a few creatures to watch slowly amber along. Great ticket price for museum members.

This place is so fun but only go on days it’s not busy. That way you can take your time instead of feeling closed in. We loved seeing all the butterflies flying around. If you have a sensitive kid, they may get upset if they see a dead butterfly, so just be aware. There aren’t many but you occasionally come across one.

I love Cockrell Butterfly Center. It is a beautiful and relaxing place. For that reason, I have visited it many times. There are many butterflies of different forms and colors flying around. This is a perfect place to enjoy it alone or with family and friends. It is located in the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I highly recommend it. Kids love it.

If you love butterflies 🦋 then you need to come and visit. Entrance is in Houston Museums of Natural Science and it's only $6. Peaceful and Beautiful 😍.

Always a great time to visit the butterflies here and learn about insects and whatnot! There were so many more butterflies this time around too. 13/10 recommend.

Me and my boyfriend came here on a Saturday, the experience was magical seeing so many butterflies! We even had a very friendly blue butterfly land on us both! The dome is 3 floors, has a lovely garden of tropical plants, and a fantastic waterfall. There's an indoor museum of taxidermy bugs, which is cool for anyone who enjoys looking at a variety of bugs up close and personal. They had all stages of butterfly life on display, from a live windowed view of watching them come out of cacoons, to boxes of unique caterpillars. There's an array of live insects, a box of isopods, and a few arachnids. I definitely will be coming back! Only draw back for the whole experience for myself, was it was quite crowded. If crowds aren't your thing don't go on a busy weekend ♥️
